Last night, the Grammy Awards got political from the very start and celebrities like James Corden, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, and Busta Rhymes decided to use the award show as an opportunity to lecture Americans about politics.

However, there was one moment that made headlines that had nothing to do with politics.

Check out what Chance the Rapper did during his acceptance speech that resonated with millions of Americans.

From Townhall:

Chance the Rapper had quite the Sunday night. He won three Grammys–for Best New Artist, Best Rap Album for his album “Coloring Book,” and Best Rap Performance for his song “No Problem.” And in a refreshing change of pace during a night full of various political screeds, all he wanted to do was praise the Lord. During his acceptance speech for Best New Artist, Chance the Rapper spoke openly about his faith and his thankfulness for God’s blessings. Good stuff.

You can watch the full speech here.

It’s not every day we see celebrities wearing their faith on their sleeve like that.

A very nice change of pace.

>”Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.” - Matthew 10:32-33

All the more reason to get the words from the source. Quotes won’t do it, nor will quotes of quotes.

The big, bad and the pretty needs to lay it down and solid.

Nothing else will do.

Lyrics courtesy of Chance the Rapper, song called "Smoke Break"
[Intro - Chance The Rapper:]
We just be smoking a bowl
We just be smoking
We just be smoking a bowl
We just be smoking a bowl
We just be
We just be smoking a bowl
We just be smoking a bowl
We just be smoking a, we just
Fuck is going on? When did we buy a bowl?

[Verse 1 - Chance The Rapper:]
We just be smoking a bowl
We ain't got no time to roll
I'm always out on the road
She don't got time for a whole
Little bit of time that we have
We used to purchase a half
There don't be no time to smoke
I'm always throwing on clothes
She always throwing a fit
We don't got no time for no sex
I just put milk in the bowl
She don't be cooking at all
She just put weed in the bowl
She don't have time for herself
She putting points on the board, yes
You know she carry her own
You know she carry a child
She wake up at crack of dawn
She don't be cracking a smile
So when she packing the bowl
I grab her, I tell her...

Good for him! Every Christian should be standing up for the Lord like this. Pray without ceasing.

Well that’s not good. I’ve noticed a lot of people say they’re Christian, then you see stuff like this about them. I will say, though, I’ve been a Christian for a long time, and I’ve screwed up plenty of times. Thank God for forgiveness. I will also say that I’m sure all of you know people who have struggled to live a Christian life, but eventually, they get it right. Everyone sins. Everyone. The important thing is to repent and receive forgiveness. Then get back out there. There’s only one unforgivable sin -— unbelief. Thank God He has patience with us.
